config_abc: Configuration object for the Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm

In EmiR: Evolutionary Minimizer for R

Configuration object for the Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm

Description

Create a configuration object for the Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm (ABC). At minimum the number of iterations (parameter iterations) and the number of bees (parameter population_size) have to be provided.

Usage

config_abc(
  iterations,
  population_size,
  iterations_same_cost = NULL,
  absolute_tol = NULL,
  employed_frac = 0.5,
  n_scout = 1
)

Arguments

iterations	maximum number of iterations.
population_size	number of bees.
iterations_same_cost	maximum number of consecutive iterations with the same (see the parameter absolute_tol) best cost before ending the minimization. If NULL the minimization continues for the number of iterations specified by the parameter iterations. Default is NULL.
absolute_tol	absolute tolerance when comparing best costs from consecutive iterations. If NULL the machine epsilon is used. Default is NULL.
employed_frac	fraction employed bees. Default is 0.5.
n_scout	number of scout bees. Default is 1.

Value

config_abc returns an object of class ABCConfig.
